Manpower · Crew & labor planning

This week’s crews — and where you’ll be short before the GC asks.

A 52-week crew board with a near-term Day Mode, roster and PTO, projections with a manpower-gap strip, time tracking that exports to payroll, and certification tracking — all on the same login as your pour board.

The Manpower crew board — crews as rows, weeks as columns, each man’s job a color-coded pill.
Keep your spreadsheet. Start with one crew, not a migration.
Bring the roster in from Excel. Import once, then load a week and see it work.
No charge until day 15. 14 days free, cancel anytime.

Projection & the crew gap

Every job’s schedule, stacked against the crew you actually have.

The Projection board lines every job’s planned crew up against your live supply — demand versus scheduled men, week by week, with a gap strip that calls out surplus, tight, or short before the GC asks.

The schedules themselves are built next door on the Project Schedule page — type the phases, drag them onto the calendar, set the men per week, print the GC’s 11×17. Whatever you build there counts here automatically: one schedule, never a second copy to keep in step.

The Project Schedules lane on the Projection board — one read-only row per schedule with its PEAK crew and foreman, the two Cedar Port buildings carrying their linked-job chips, and the men planned for each week in the squares across the calendar.

Roster, PTO & status

Your roster, who’s out, and who’s available — in one place.

Keep the roster current, mark PTO and status, and import it from Excel to start. A 4-tier role model means admins and editors plan, coordinators handle the roster, and the crew are free, unlimited viewers.

The crew rail — three crews with every man’s name, employee number, trade, and PTO / skill badges.

Time tracking

Daily timesheets with ST / OT / DT — and California 8-hour OT.

Capture straight time, overtime, double time, holidays and PTO on a daily grid. OT modes handle Auto-40 and California’s 8-hour rule, against a tenant holiday calendar — so the hours are right before they ever hit payroll.

The weekly timesheet — ST / OT summary tiles and every man’s hours per day, job-coded with the job number.

Wired to Daily Reports

Crew prefills out to the field, and hours flow back.

The Manpower board and Daily Reports feed each other: the crew you’ve scheduled prefills onto the foreman’s report so he just confirms who worked and their hours — and when he submits, those hours flow back into Time Tracking for that day. No double entry, and manual office entries always take priority.

Payroll export

From timesheet to ADP, Paychex or QuickBooks — without re-keying.

Thirteen one-click export presets — ADP, Paychex, QuickBooks, Gusto, Paylocity, Sage, Vista and Foundation, plus branded Excel and a Universal CSV. The hours your foremen logged become the file your payroll system wants — no double entry, no transcription errors at the worst possible moment.

The Export Payroll dialog over the weekly timesheet — Branded Excel, Universal CSV, ADP RUN, and Paychex Flex presets.

Certification tracking

Never put an expired cert on a job again.

Track each worker’s certifications — type, issuer, issue and expiry, documents — with expiring-soon alerts and a warning before you assign someone whose cert has lapsed. Compliance risk caught on the board, not in an audit.

See certification tracking →
Manage Cert Types — the catalog of certifications the workspace tracks, each with its issuer, validity, and warning window.

Analytics

Manpower curve and utilization, at a glance.

See the manpower curve across the job and utilization by foreman, project, or crew — the numbers that tell you where you’re overstaffed, where you’re short, and how the labor is actually tracking against plan.

Manpower analytics — each job’s crew curve ramping up and winding down, man-weeks per foreman, and utilization across the year.

Setting it up for the first time? The Manpower Getting Started guide covers the roster, the crew board, time tracking and the Project Schedule step by step.

Manpower — common questions

What is the Manpower module?
A crew scheduling and labor-planning board for self-perform concrete subs: a 52-week crew grid with a near-term Day Mode, roster and PTO/status, projections with a manpower-gap strip, time tracking with payroll export, and certification tracking — on the same login as Place & Finish, sharing the same projects. The Project Schedule page rides with it, so the phase schedules you build there feed the same crew forecast.
Can it export to ADP, Paychex, or QuickBooks?
Yes — all three, and eight more. Daily crew timesheets capture ST/OT/DT, holidays and PTO, with OT modes including Auto-40 and California 8-hour, then export in one click to ADP RUN, ADP Workforce Now, Paychex Flex, QuickBooks Online or Desktop, Gusto, Paylocity, Sage 100 Contractor, Sage 300 CRE, Viewpoint Vista or Foundation Software — plus a branded Excel timesheet and a Universal CSV. No re-keying.
What is manpower tracking in construction?
Knowing, in one place, where every crew and every man is committed week by week — who’s on which job, who’s on PTO, what hours they actually worked, and what that does to your capacity. The Manpower board is that picture: crews as rows, weeks as columns, each man’s job a color-coded pill, with the roster, time, and certifications attached to the same names.
What’s the difference between manpower scheduling and manpower projection?
Scheduling is assigning the crews you have — putting names on jobs, week by week. Projection is the forward look: total labor demand stacked against scheduled supply, with the gap called out. You schedule on the board; the projection tells you whether next month’s schedule can actually be staffed.
How does it help me see a crew shortage early?
The projection view puts demand next to scheduled crew by week and shows a gap strip — surplus, tight, or short — so you catch the overtime crunch before the GC asks, two weeks out instead of the morning of.
Do I get every module in one subscription?
Yes — one subscription, the Planning Ops Platform, includes the Place & Finish pour calendar, the Manpower crew planner, the Project Schedule page, and Daily Reports on the same login, sharing the same projects and working seats.
